Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 21 Jul or Wed 22 Jul in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 21 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 22 Jul.
Dashami until 05:14, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:14 to 02:25 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 02:25; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:14 Tue to 02:25.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 21 Jul only, at 05:47: Tue 21 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 21 Jul Dashami lasts until 05:14, inside arunodaya (04:11–05:47), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:25, so Vaishnavas fast on Wed 22 Jul: Wed 22 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Wed 22 Jul, 07:38–20:24 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:25 on Wed 22 Jul to 23:19 on Wed 22 Jul; harivasara ends at 07:38. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:24: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.
Vaishnava · Thu 23 Jul, 05:49–20:23 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 23:19 Wed on Thu 23 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:13): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:49, to sunset, 20:23, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
